Does the blade wobble around from the handle after a while?

Haven't had that issue. Was tight opening so when I loosened the pivot screw was grinding against the liners on closing

There is a little bit of play and wobble...Lock up is much tighter up and down than it is side to side, but I've owned a half dozen $200+ high end folding knives, including 'real' Emersons, and, honestly, for as inexpensive as this blade is, I was impressed with its lockup. Not much wobble by any fair objective standard, especially when you take the price into consideration.

Nope. Sold as a rock. And all screws are Philips head. No star driver crud. So even if it does its easy to tighten.

I have had this pencil for several months now and have not had this experience. Mine has not been wobbly at all.

Haven't had much of any issues there. ONce I thought I had actually damaged the inside surface down toward the blades. No chance on that. Cleaned up real nice after running it through the dishwasher. Other than that, the other responses seem to echo mine.

No. Doesn't feel like it, but stops pretty quick though. Have never had an issue and use it a lot. Great little saw.

Bought mine a year ago and the only issue i had which is minor the rubber on the side of the knife has come a little loose or separated. Still no big deal.

None of the components swivel completely. The outer part is stationary and the inner blade moves somewhat. The blade is very sharp and it shaves just the right amount. I love it! I have both handle designs but the metal handle and blade are much larger than the petite sized black plastic handle.

The handle is not abnormally heavy. I really like the design and feel. If you do buy it make sure you really slam the handle into the blade. otherwise it will be wobbly.

I have had no issues with the blade falling out as long as it is seated correctly. Check by hand when tool is unplugged if blade is tight.

I've only had my RST IIs for a short time,but I haven't noticed that problem.I haven't noticdd it in my RAT Is,either. I must admit I rarely put them to much use. I do open and close the blades using the thumb studs and haven't experiencedthe pivot screw loosening. I read almost all the reviews of this knife and didn't see any mention of that being a problem.

Answer here..I have been using mine quite regularly and my handle does not need to be constantly tightened. You might want to try a drop or two of glue to hold it securely.

Yes, the handle rotates and LOCKS in 3 positions: left/center/right (9/12/3 o'clock positions) which makes it convenient for BOTH left or right hand use. It also has double-action cutting blade action (both upper/lower blades move to cut).

Yes, it vibrates a little bit but, it is not objectionable. With the reciprocating action of the blades it cannot be prevented. For an electric knife it is excellent and I would purchase this knife again.

Yes, when the blade is opened it is locked in place by a spring loaded tab that rests against the base of the blade. It is released by a side movement with the thumb, not too unique as many brands have this feature.

I have not experienced any of the wobble. I do not regret buying ... Straight, and easy cuts, quickly.

mine wobbles a bit too. I believe the grinding mechanism is soft mounted to reduce stress on the parts, and that means a bit of movement when working. I don't believe either of us has anything to worry about.

No, Its forced out from rotation of blade. Its a good planer. Ive used for Cedar, Cherry and walnut with no problems or blade change.

I haven't had any problems, but I haven't used mine much. It's not the best quality knife I own and I could see where the locking mechanism would malfunction and become a problem.
